Near her birthday, a Julia Morgan home comes on the market

Architect Julia Morgan would have been 141 on January 20th. Famous not only for her work, she was one of the very few women of her day to have such an accomplished professional career. As a Bay Area resident, Morgan’s work can be seen all over – from buildings on the Cal campus (where she attended and was the only female engineering graduate in 1894) to her work on the Hearst Castle.

She also designed quite a few residences, and this one on Russian Hill has come on the market, asking $7.95 million.

The 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home was originally a Victorian but reimagined by Morgan as a classic Italianate villa in 1916. It was also owned by San Francisco interior designer extraordinaire Anthony Hail for a few decades before he sold it in the late 1990s, who also added his touches. The home has 3 stories, but the lower level is unfinished for the new owner’s imagination. The home sits on a deep lot with a nice back patio and lawn area where the 2 car garage and a separate detached guest house can be accessed. The property has also been profiled in Architectural Digest.
